My Great Great Great Great Great Grandfather William Mcconnell founded Lexington Kentucky in June 1975 here's a little info:

In June 1775, William McConnell and his fellow frontier explorers camped at a natural spring in the wilderness of the Virginia territory known as Kentucky. Word came from nearby Fort Boonesboro that the first battle of the American Revolution had been fought in Lexington, Massachusetts. In honor of the battle, the group named their future settlement "Lexington".
